Fleck 7000 Carbon Filter Installation & Startup Guide
2.5 cubic foot of Carbon media
* We include two extra red clips with the pipe connector kit.

Pre-Installation

1. Review your packing list and make sure you have received all the parts before beginning
installation.
2. If you are going to be turning off the water to the house and you have an electric water heater,
shut off the power to the water heater before beginning installation in case water heater is
accidentially drained.
3. Pick a suitable location for your filter system on a dry level spot where it won't be exposed to
freezing temperatures. A minimum of 20 PSI is required. Maximum pressure is 90 PSI.
4. Get all of your plumbing parts together before beginning installation. Installation typically takes
3 to 5 hours. However after installation the Carbon Carbon Filter Filter must be allowed to run
through a complete backwash and rinse cycle.
5. After the system is installed and running, your water may be discolored, or full of sediment or
rust, particularly if this is older or corroded piping. Typically this clears up over a day or two.
Best Practices for Piping & Drain Installation
1. See typical installation (see Fig 2). The Carbon Filter filter is installed after the pressure tank.
2. Make sure to follow to connect the in pipe to the Fleck 7000 inlet and the outlet to the outlet
(see Fig 2). As you face the Fleck 7000 control from the front, the water enters on the right and
exits on the left. From the back (see Fig 2) the water enters on the left. The inlet and outlet are
attached to the bypass valve which is marked with arrows as well.
3. Make sure there is a working gate or ball valve before the Fleck 7000 Carbon Filter filter and also
one after as shown in the diagram Fig 2. The pressure gauges are optional and perhaps not
necessary but a hose bib (which is a faucet that you can attach a garden hose to) is strongly
recommended after the Carbon Filter filter before the second ball valve. This makes it easy to
rinse your new Carbon Filter filter on start-up and gives you a place to test the water before it
enters your household plumbing.
